Chapter 1395: Drawing the Blade

Chapter 1395: Drawing the Blade

A terrifying aura swallowed him like turbulent waves. That was not just power, but bloody murderousness as well. He was like a rowboat in a storm, without any power to resist.

Li Qingshan gazed at this wild woman who had appeared out of nowhere and instead became stunned. His distant memories whistled back to him with that familiar name and that woman he had once wanted to wed.

Chao Tianjiao thought he had been frightened out of his wits, so she thought in disdain, Hmph, I just demonstrated my aura slightly. Is this all you’re capable of? All these stinky men only know how to pose around. When they actually face trouble, none of them have any proper spine in them.

No, she’s different. She’s just a little similar in bearing.

Li Qingshan sighed inside. Since he had already made it to today, if he took a step back, then he would be letting down all those sincere feelings for nothing.

Under Chao Tianjiao’s surprised gaze, he grinned and stressed every single word as he said, “What… kind… of… dog…”

The atmosphere that had eased up suddenly tensed up again. With every word that he spat out, Chao Tianjiao’s aura pulled higher in an unbelievable manner.

Le Tian interrupted them and covered Li Qingshan’s mouth. “Senior sister, what brings you here?” He shot a glance at Li Qingshan. Keep quiet, or you’re going to die.

Chao Tianjiao roared furiously, “Move your hand. Let him finish!”

With a swivel of his eyes, Pi Yangqiu thought of something and smiled. “Senior sister, how are you going to face junior sister Ruan if you do this?”

The black-furred hou would not appear in Li Qingshan’s sleeve randomly. It had definitely been impelled by Chao Tianjiao, while throughout the entire Myriad sect, there were only a handful of people who could make a request with her. Ruan Yaozhu happened to be one of them.

When she heard that, Chao Tianjiao sucked in a deep breath and slowly let go of Li Qingshan’s collar.

“Kid, I’ve arranged a duel for you.”

“Don’t tell me it’s with you? Then I decline.” Li Qingshan fixed his collar impassively.

“Hmph, coward.”

Li Qingshan clasped his hands seriously and said, “Senior sister, with your unparalleled sentiments and unmatched fierceness, you are no less than a man, no, even greater than men. You are my idol. When I get back, I’ll find a Foundation Establishment cultivator. I will give him a vicious beating so that he can get a taste of the first senior sister of the Myriad sect’s mighty demeanour.”

Le Tian and Pi Yangqiu could not help but smile at that response.

Chao Tianjiao widened her eyes and took a step forward, about to lose her temper. Suddenly, there was a black flash, and the “black rabbit” landed on her head. Its triangular mouth twitched as if it was saying something.

Chao Tianjiao held back her anger. “Li Qingshan, Shen Yushu is waiting for you in the Xuanwu arena right now. He wants a battle to the death against you. Do you have the courage to come?”

This battle was very unfair too. An entire realm of cultivation separated them, so she thought he would decline this as well, but Li Qingshan said in surprise, “He still has the courage to come?”

Chao Tianjiao choked up. Was that something a Soul Nascence cultivator was supposed to say when they faced a Yin Soul cultivator?

“Alright, I’ll head over right now then!”

You’re just relying on an asura armament. You’ll find out what’s what later.

With a boom, she flew off, disappearing just as suddenly as when she first arrived.

Li Qingshan asked in wonder, “Is this the first senior sister of the Myriad sect?”

Pi Yangqiu sighed. “Yes and no.”

“What do you mean?”

“Whether it’s a first senior brother or a first senior sister, the Myriad sect only ever has one. They stand above all other disciples, where even direct disciples have to obey them. Because the two sect masters regularly roam the Nine Heavens with the grand sect master and the Spirit Reverend of Ocean Returnance never bothers with the usual matters, the first senior brother or the first senior sister actually serves as the sect master most of the time. They are elected by all the disciples in the sect once every century. They are also known as the greatest disciple.”

“So it was senior brother Lin Xuan for this generation!”

Li Qingshan understood the situation now. To the two Human Immortal sect masters, their cultivations definitely took priority. They would not waste time dealing with these regular affairs. The entire Myriad sect was an autocracy centred around direct disciples, so they required someone to watch over them. However, even if the first senior brother or sister was in charge, their cultivation was limited. Of course, they did not possess the same authority as sect masters, and they would go through an election process each century.

Pi Yangqiu said, “That’s right. However, senior brother Lin Xuan underwent reincarnation. The century hasn’t elapsed yet, so the spot is still open. So far, there are two direct disciples with the greatest chance at inheriting this position. There’s basically no other direct disciples that can contend against them, so they’re referred to as first senior brother and first senior sister right now.”

“They seem pretty impressive.”

“Let’s just say this. In a direct confrontation, there are no direct disciples that are their opponent.”

Le Tian smiled. “You might as well say that if they worked together, even if you combined all the other direct disciples, they would not be their opponent. Of course, they would never work together.”

Li Qingshan was shocked as well. It was no wonder why he felt so pressured. That was a Human Sovereign among Human Sovereigns, not someone like Si Long who barely squeezed into their ranks.

“Just how did I offend her?”

“Probably because junior sister Ruan Yaozhu asked her to take care of you. She personally brought junior sister Ruan to the Myriad sect…”

Li Qingshan understood immediately. He sighed. “Then I can’t blame anyone else. It really is all because I’m just too charming!”

“Err…”

Le Tian smiled. “You don’t have any concern for your life, nor do you have a sense of shame. You have a bright future ahead of you.”

“Thank you for your praise.”

“That Shen Yushu has converted his soul nascence into a proper soul a long time ago. He’s only a step away from the fifth heavenly tribulation, one of the disciples in the sect with the greatest hopes of becoming a direct disciples. You probably won’t be his opponent. I’m really worried about my gamble, so you should just forfeit!”

That was the most natural judgement to make in the cultivation community. Even with a difference in their cultivation method and whether they were skilled at battle or not, an entire realm of cultivation still separated the two. That was a colossal gulf that was very difficult to make up for. And as their cultivations advanced, the gulf between realms would grow wider. Even after witnessing Li Qingshan’s performance in Magnetic Field mountain, he basically did not have any hopes.

Li Qingshan smiled. “You wanna gamble on that?”

“Of course, I’ll bet that you win.”

Li Qingshan was taken aback.

“Hehe, you are my dark horse after all!”

Shen Yushu stood within a swamp, still in some disbelief over his luck. This was basically the place most suited to the techniques of the Heavenly Tome of Nature in the Xuanwu arena, and he could kill his enemies honourably here.

Killing intent flashed through his eyes as he gazed at Li Qingshan in the distance.

He did not know why the first senior sister had made this arrangement, but he definitely would not let this opportunity slip by. Standing so far away, that kid would never have the opportunity to launch a sneak attack on him again. He would use his full strength right from the beginning and kill him with the plants.

Chao Tianjiao, Pi Yangqiu, and Le Tian spectated from the cliff in the distance.

Le Tian smiled and said something to Chao Tianjiao. Chao Tianjiao agreed without batting an eye, beginning a new gamble.

Pi Yangqiu hesitated on the side and ended up deciding against provoking this tigress. It would not not be fun once she began feuding with him.

Li Qingshan was relaxed. Suddenly, he looked at the cliff and asked loudly, “Do you all know what the strong is?”

He referred to all of them, but he was only looking at Chao Tianjiao. Chao Tianjiao sneered and asked, “What is the strong?”

Suddenly, Li Qingshan drew the Frenzy Flower Blade of Path’s End and pointed it at Chao Tianjiao in the distance. He smiled and said, “When the strong lose their temper, they draw their blades at the stronger. When the weak lose their temper, they draw their blades at the weaker!”
